Q: What is the best method to clean decorative surfaces?A: The cleaning method for special or decorative finishes will be unique for each product. Specific care and maintenance information is available for specialty materials and must be followed to ensure long-lasting beauty. It is typically recommended to stay away from abrasive cleaners and to only use chemical cleaners as recommended.

Q: How should I clean or maintain my Trim By Design products?A: Do not use cleaners that contain abrasives, harsh chemicals, alcohol, or other organic solvents. Avoid using any cleansers or pads/sponges that are unsafe for polished metallic surfaces. Most green, fibrous pads/sponges contain microscopic mineral particles that can scratch a faucet's finish. To preserve the luster of your product, apply a high quality non-abrasive cleaner, such as TRIM-BRITE.
 See Finish Care

Q: Why is my Polished Brass tarnishing or peeling?A: Traditional Polished Brass finishes were coated with a clear coating to inhibit tarnish. Over time, this clear coat can be broken or scratched with regular wear and tear, abuse or chemical attack, causing the finish to tarnish or the coating to peel. Unfortunately, it's not possible to repair the clear coat so you will need to replace any parts of your faucet or accessory that are tarnished or badly scratched.
 See Finish Care

Q: Why is the finish deteriorating on my product?A: Normally, finish deterioration is due to years of wear and tear, abuse or chemical attack. There is no repair once the finish is damaged.

Q: Do you install products?A: We do not install products. Trim By Design is your product partner and leaves the installation to the professionals in this field.
